OCBA was retained to redevelop Fountain Plaza in the heart of WMU’s main campus.  The project goal was to create a vibrant and elegant design that would accommodate high levels of pedestrian traffic while offering a variety of seating niches scaled for use by small groups and individuals.

Working closely with WMU’s Campus Planning Department, OCBA created a “river” of pavement that flows through the large plaza space and ties together the surrounding buildings.  Lawn and planters with shade trees offer curvilinear seat walls for seating and vegetated areas for stormwater management.
